Caring for Others ✝ Achieving Excellence
Science
“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Carl Sageri
In our school the teaching of science inspires in children curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them. The teaching science at St Johns aspires to create Scientists who challenge their own thinking and the thinking of others and so develop a persistent curiosity. Our curriculum is planned so that pupils progressively build on learnt scientific knowledge and skills. Pupils regularly have the opportunity to apply skills with increased independence, raising questions and recognising ways in which they might scientifically answer questions.
Science Vision Agreed by the Science Action Group
Science at St Johns ensures that children are curious thinkers, who work collaboratively, to engage in the world around them, through hands-on, enquiry based and creative learning opportunities.

Learners are excited and engaged about their Science learning. We enjoy learning about different topics in Science as you can learn more about how things work and understand the world.
|
Learners have opportunities to independently explore scientific concepts and ideas. We find out about different scientific ideas and evaluate what we have learnt. |
Learners develop an enthusiasm for learning about Science in the real world. We think it is important to learn about the world around us and how to protect it. |

Learners will have the opportunity to enhance their practical skills when completing scientific investigations. We enjoy carrying out practical experiments and investigating in groups. |
Learners build a secure understanding of key scientific vocabulary and can use these words in cross-curricular learning. We are excited by our STEM week and our group enquiries. |
In 2021 - 2022 we are working towards the Primary Science Quality Mark to raise the profile of Science teaching and learning across the school. Find out more information at: http://www.psqm.org.uk/about-us
